Consumer Protection Code 2012

Course Summary:

The Consumer Protection Code (2012 Code), comes into effect from 1 January 2012 for regulated entities including banks, insurance and investment companies and intermediaries. The Code strengthens protections for consumers of financial institutions.

Bernard Sheridan, Director of Consumer Protection, commented, “Consumer protection is a key priority for the Central Bank and the publication of the revised Code is the culmination of a significant review and consultation process to strengthen the existing consumer protection framework. A range of significant enhancements have been made to the Code in order to address areas of concern and to ensure that consumers are adequately protected in their dealings with financial entities. These enhancements include additional protections for vulnerable consumers and stricter rules to prevent borrowers in arrears from being harassed.”

This half day course aims to provide attendees with an understanding of the basis, scope and main provisions of the code including analysis of the increased protections for consumers. The course will also provide attendees with an understanding on how to practically implement the requirements of the Code.
